Blogger harassed at Cairo Airport (AGAIN!)

DateSaturday, August 8, 2009 at 1:06AM
A month after they detained him at the Cairo International Airport and confiscated his laptop, Blogger Wael Abbas has been stopped again, on his way back from Beirut. Police has confiscated all his CDs, USB and flash memory cards!

Wael just texted me to say he's leaving airport and heading home now.

Here, it's too much! Next time it will be his cellphone for sure!
I don't know how to say! Very upset to hear this!
I'm asking myself: if I come back to Egypt for tuorism & meet friends there, will I be subject to a treatment like this?
SHAME! An action must be done!
